The Airport Extreme is the nicest router that Apple makes. As you'd expect from a $180 router, it has all the major features you'd want: simultaneous dual-band routing, gigabit ethernet ports, and the ability to add a USB hard drive. If you like flashing router firmware or futzing with network configurations, this is not a deal for you. But if you want a buy-it-and-never-think-about-it-again appliance that serves up rock solid Internet, you can't go wrong with the Airport Extreme, especially if you're a Mac person.

Refurbs are tricky. Some refurbs — like Apple's — are good as new. This Airport is not an Apple refurb. For instance, it only comes with a 30-day warranty. But if you're okay with that risk, you can get an current-generation Airport Extreme for $90 from Best Buy, which is almost half the price for a new one on Amazon and exactly half off Apple's price. When we featured the same price from the same retailer back in January, I picked one up and couldn't be happier. Mine came in a brown OEM box and looked like it was brand new.

Staples just started carrying Apple stuff. Good for them! But also good for you, because with change comes opportunity. Staples runs $15 off $100 coupons on a regular basis, and — surprise! — they actually apply to Apple goods. Today's code is 62355. Sure, you're gonna have to spend $100, but it's a good store to keep in mind when you're looking for accessories like Magic Mice, Magic Trackpads, or Apple TVs. [Staples]
